The Cast Of 'Bluetick' Reveal Who The Worst 'Blue tick' Offenders Among Their Celebrity Friends Are!
In this day and age, everyone knows what a "blue tick" means, or rather what it means to be "blue ticked" or to receive a "blue tick".
It simply means...someone has read your text, but has yet to reply...or is adamant on ignoring you.
*Burn baby, Burn*
In pop culture terms, getting the blue tick means you have been snubbed. For all receivers, we know how it hurts like a bikini wax and it's a dash to the ego. But what does it mean...if someone that is no longer around (dead) suddenly gives you a 'blue tick' on Whatsapp? Creepy.

So common it is for people to say these "eh why you blue tick me ah", that a drama has spawned from this concept. Interesting. Who would have thought? And we must say it has been a very refreshing change from the usual trope of dramas these days.
Bluetick is a 20 episode web series co-produced by Toggle and ViuTV.
Based on Hong Kong author Ray Leung's best-selling novel, the drama's central tension revolves around the 'blue tick'.
In the show, ten strangers attend the funeral of their common friend. One of them decides to send a message to her deceased friend, and receives a "blue tick" back.

Clearly this scares the daylights out of everyone so they decide to investigate. As they go deeper into the mystery, the face many strange and tragic events....
Bluetick launched in September this year. The drama boasts a star studded cast, including Sheila Sim, Desmond Tan, Bonde Sham, Jeffrey Xu and Law Kar-Ying. The stars have revealed interestingly enough, who are the worse blue tick offenders among their celebrity friends, who they would choose to blue tick if they had to choose among fellow cast mates and why they "blue tick" people!

Sheila Sim has voted Rebecca Lim as the worse blue tick offender among her celebrity friends. In fact, she says it's a well known fact among the celebrities!

She says Rebecca can take a FEW DAYS to reply a message. In her defence however, Sheila says Rebecca is a very busy person. Perhaps that's why.
Awww...but still....Rebecca looks so sweet.
If Sheila had to choose between blue ticking Jeffrey Xu or Desmond Tan, she said she would blue tick Desmond Tan since they are closer and he would understand if she did. I guess we always treat the ones we are more familiar with more casually!
Shelia herself admits she is a pretty bad blue tick offender and she has been guilty too of not replying for days...until her friends confront her. She says she is just really forgetful but she didn't mean it.

So if Sheila Sim ever blue ticks you, take heart. She still loves you.

When asked to nominate a fellow celebrity, Jeffrey Xu nominated Desmond Tan as the worst blue tick offender among his celebrity friends
"He's pretty busy recently, so I understand completely!"
If he had to choose between Sheila and Desmond though, he would blue tick Sheila because he is closer to Desmond.
Though Jeffrey admits to being a pretty terrible blue ticker himself, he never dares to blue tick his girlfriend Felicia Chin.

We think she's a really lucky girl.
3. Desmond Tan

Desmond admits that Jeffrey Xu is one of his blue tick offender friends.
So...this means the both of them like to blue tick each other?
Precisely because they are close and see each other so often, so perhaps excessive Whatsapp conversation is uneccessary?
If he had to choose between blue ticking Sheila Sim or Jeffrey Xu, he would still blue tick Sheila because she is married.
Or maybe he is just a really good bro!
Fellow co actress Bonde Sham has admitted to constantly blue ticking Desmond Tan because he often sends "weird stuff" to her like Facebook videos!

So Desmond blue ticks Jeffrey Xu but sends Bonde Sham weird stuff? Hmmmm....
I guess the celebrities are as human as anyone of us and even they too can get their fair share of blue ticking! #rejection
So people, next time if you get the blue tick, don't cry yet. Maybe your friends are just super forgetful or really busy...or busy texting people of the opposite gender! (must paktor what)
